No of course not, they said, "May God have mercy on his soul." Sheesh, its like you've never been to a hanging.
instead reflects the behavior of a population of foreign ancestry originally introduced not as members of the society, but as its servants (and by servants I mean primarily slaves).
Most societies have practiced public execution at some point in their history. Whether it was for judicial or religious purposes.
You are correct - the Scots-Irish imported as virtual slaves had what I think is the highest murder rates in our history - in KY and TN it was 250 per 100K people, 50X what it is today.
I'm generally against Capital Punishment but if Flynn and others are proven to be traitors I'd be for a firing squad. Then again, he's already been given a "deal".
Well what IF Hillary Clinton is found guilty of rigging the election? Can we execute her, too?

Impossible. They had public executions, the bestest deterrent there is!
It certainly is a great deterrent. You can't tell me if the likes of the school shooters weren't taken out back and shot in the head with a stern warning anyone who does anything like it will be next it won't make people think twice.
Especially for treason.
I would like to see a public hanging, right smack dab in the middle of the ellipse.

What is your source for these stats? Was it something to do with Prohibition and bootlegging? If so, not real interested.....everyone already knows that things like Prohibition or the War On Some Drugs artificially inflates crime stats (we saw it in the 80s and we're seeing it right now).
If it was related to that, then I'd also question the veracity of the stats....homicides committed by "the authorities" are excluded from this category (which is called intentional murder...which does not include police shootings)
